i came here by chance...looking for none other than jw material:) i am currently studying with jw's and attend the kh but am not baptized, as are none of the members of my fam...yet.

i've been studying for almost 4 years with the witnesses.

i am confused...that's the simplest way of putting it.

I agree with all the above comments. I left after being raised a witness, at the age of 27. My first child had just been born, he is now 5 and my daughter is 3. My three year old told me today that Christmas is the "bestest time of the year". I'm sad your children will miss out. Leaving was the best thing we ever did for ourselves, and most importantly, our children.

My cousin was raised as a witness and married a jw 26 years ago. They have four children who are now grown (youngest is 17) and she just left her husband and the JWs. She put 26 years into a miserable marriage to a verbally abusive alchoholic and finally had enough. She realized several years ago that it wasn't really "the truth" but was trapped by her husband. When she moved out her kids came by to tell her they were no longer going to speak to her, or have anything to do with her. Her daughters said they would not invite her to their weddings. She isn't disfellowshipped or disassociated but her family has totally cut her off because she left the organization.

Give this a lot of thought Sadie. It could happen to anyone. Once you are in, you are stuck.

'tis the season to be jolly!.

Maybe this is more what Nathan had in mind.

About fifteen years ago, before the Prince and I were married, he came over to visit. I don't think we were even dating then, he was just visiting my older brother. My little brother, about six, had made some gingerbread boys with my mom and they had decorated them. Well the Prince only sees cookies and asked if he could have one. I'm not sure about what happened next, maybe my brother wasn't paying attention because I knew there was no way he would give away one of his gingerbread boys, but the Prince bit the head off of one. Yep, fully decapitated and quite tasty too he said. It took a very long time for my brother to recover. Total meltdown. The Prince felt horrible and bought him a big box of gingerbread boy cookies.

That's my decapitation story, I thought of it as soon as I read your title.

A poem in memory of my mom.

i've never really attempted poetry and don't really understand it completely.

but i do like it and i was inspired to make this post after reading ashitaka's fine poem in eulogy of his grandfather.

i've been asked by a few who were present at my mother's funeral and wake to go ahead and post a part of my eulogy here.

Princess

Thanks for sharing that Sean. I loved it when you read it at your mom's memorial, it was just perfect and so very true. I drive by your parent's place every day and it gives me the chance to think about her daily. I miss her a lot right now.

I thought you'd like to know that when Rhys tells people about his grandmas, he counts four (my mom, Steve's mom and my grandma) he always tells he had a grandma Sharon too, and he misses her.

I'm glad you are here, I miss you.
